I have never been good at controlling my weight. Up or down, I have always felt like my weight was out of control and subject to my situation or stage in life. Yes, I've certainly tried to control it - sometimes with temporary success - but it seems that when life gets in the way, health and weight were always the first things to suffer.

So, as you're reading my Weight Loss Blog, you may suspect that when the blog updates stop, I have probably stopped losing weight and in fact I may have gained some or all of it back. Well, I have good news and bad news....

The bad news is that life has indeed gotten in the way. The good news is that it was my blog that suffered and not my weight.

I'm happy to announce that I have not gained any of my weight back! You noticed that I didn't say that I've lost a considerable amount of weight since my last post, to which some would say is a disappointment. Yet, from my perspective, I can honestly say this "plateau" is a great achievement and blessing. If you've read some of my earlier posts, you'll know that ALL of my significant weight loss successes in my life have been followed by me gaining back all of the weight PLUS MORE. This time was different. I have kept off all of the weight and I've actually lost a bit more since my last Weekly Weigh In.

I'm excited to be re-launching the blog today and I hope to be making significant progress, both in health and consistently recording it here. Tomorrow I will be revealing my current weight and how close I am to my overall goal. Thanks so much for reading!
